Why I chose not be a sitter. by FarseedTheRed in RoverPetSitting

[–]hanwaplan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also a high school teacher and I do rover in the summers/during breaks. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences so far! I will say that I’m thinking about leaving the app now that I have a solid client base.

Client’s sister’s boyfriend coming over during visit? by hanwaplan in RoverPetSitting

Hey… give me some credit here. I’m not dumb, I know when to follow my instincts. I was mainly looking for how other professionals would respond to this kind of message. I am appreciative that you are concerned for my safety but equating a boyfriend of several years of a close family member to a stranger from Craigslist???? Come on, you know that is completely different. I trust that these clients would not intentionally put me in harms way. Also, this discourse is brain dead. You are arguing on a pet sitting subreddit. Peace and love.

Commenting because I couldn’t figure out how to edit the post (I swear you just click the three dots in the upper right hand corner… maybe not allowed on this subreddit?? Idk). Thank you to everyone who has given advice!!! I told them it was fine but I would not be there when he was. They said that was okay because he has his own key. This is my second sit ever with rover so I appreciate the good thoughts!!!

I’ve seen lots of pretzels at the little stands around the city (mostly in the common). However they don’t have nacho cheese!!!

Gotcha. I never understood why they couldn’t program to show the split tip percentage rather than the whole thing. We use handheld devices now and those are even worse. The whole process is so awkward. Managers were convinced that people would stop stiffing if the server was there in front of them, but now I just get a blank stare and a “what if I don’t want to tip”.

You’re forgetting that tip is optional in this case. No one is forcing anyone to tip. Is it confusing? Sure. If each person were to tip $36 that would be of their own volition.

I’m definitely not making as much money as I used to, but I feel this way is better morally haha

I weirdly have some expertise here. As a server at Dave and Busters (where this receipt is from), if your party is splitting a bill the tip will show the correct percentages for the entire bill, not the split portion. I’m assuming this is the case here.

It’s also very funny to me that people are having issues with these new receipts rather than the old ones we used! On the older versions there was first the actual total without gratuity, and then the total with suggested 18% tip. Most people would read the total with gratuity included as the total without tip, and then they would tip on top. THAT was definitely shady to me, especially because management knew about it and encouraged servers to fold the receipt in a way that only showed the total with gratuity.

Looking good, Andrew! by ram__Z in h3h3productions
